New Page 1

Tintoretto (September 29, 1518 – May 31, 1594), real name Jacopo Comin, was
an Italian painter and a notable exponent of the Venetian Renaissance school.
For his phenomenal energy in painting he was termed Il Furioso, and his dramatic
use of perspectival space and special lighting effects make him a precursor of
Baroque art.

In his youth, Tintoretto was also known as Jacopo Robusti as his father had
defended the gates of Padua in a rather robust way against the imperial troops
during the War of the League of Cambrai (1509–1516). His real name "Comin" has
only recently been discovered by Miguel Falomir, the curator of the Museo del
Prado, Madrid, and was made public on the occasion of the retrospective of
Tintoretto at the Prado in 2007. Comin translates to the spice cumin in the
local language.
